Lasting Powers of Attorney

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document which is signed in order to allow another person, chosen by you, the responsibility to make certain decisions on your behalf. There are two types of Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA): Health and Welfare; and Property and Financial Affairs.

Welfare affairs LPAs have the following responsibilities:

Daily routine;

Medical care;

Moving into a care home; and

Life-sustaining treatment.

This individual must be someone you must trust and hold in extremely high regard as they may be in control of life-sustaining treatment if you so choose.

Financial Affair LPAs responsibilities are as follows:

Managing bank affairs and paying bills;

Collecting benefits or pension; and

Selling of property.
